A group of NPP polling station executives have asked government to stop forcing Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s candidacy on them as they believe efforts in that regard will prove futile.
According to the group’s spokesperson Frederick Owusu, these parliamentarians seek to compel Dr. Bawumia to speak to the delegates.
He pleaded with them to put an end to it and let the NPP structures choose a flagbearer who would be well-liked by all.
Addressing a press conference in Kumasi he said “we have observed that some Members of Parliament holding juicy appointments and contracts in the current administration have been moving from funeral to funeral and granting interviews endorsing Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as well as forcing him on the throat of NPP polling station executives to accept him as the 2024 presidential candidate. We want to send a strong signal to those Members of Parliament to desist from such a campaign.
“We, the grassroots and delegates, want to send a strong signal to these Members of Parliament to desist from such a campaign. It is believed that the office of the Vice President has promised those MPs huge cash. We are hereby saying that NPP is not for sale.
“We the grassroots and delegates will stand united behind the presidential candidate who will be accepted by the people of Ghana and the ideal presidential candidate who has a message of hope for the teeming unemployed youth.”
